Western intelligence agencies believe that the Syrian government has renewed its nuclear program at an underground facility outside the city of Qusayr, called Marj as-Sultan. Intelligence documents suggest that Syria is storing some 8,000 fuel rods at the facility, which may also house a reactor or an enrichment plant. Members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and North Korean engineers are believed to be involved in construction at the facility.
